Here served as the faculty advisor for Alpha-Beta-Phi Chapter at NKU for twenty years and faculty advisor of the chapter’s journal, Perspectives in History. In 2004 Ramage received a University-Community Partnership Grant through NKU’s Scripps Howard Center for Civil Engagement for the Battery Hooper Project. The goal was to partner with the City of Fort Wright in involving students and the public in preserving, researching, and opening Civil War Battery Hooper to the public. City Administrator Larry Klein represented the city and NKU Adjunct Professor Jeannine Kreinbrink was Archaeology Project Manager. On June 30, 2005, the project culminated with the opening of a museum on the site. Mayor Gene Weaver and the City Council named the museum in honor of Ramage’s work. As of September 1, 2006, over 5,000 people had visited the James A. Ramage Civil War Museum.
